Wrong Juice for 2004.5 Cummins
I just got my Edge juice with attitude, and it is for the 03-04 5.9, NOT the 04.5 600 series (I have the 600). Anyone tried running this? Edge told me that the only difference is that the 03-04 Juice Module adds fuel pressure, where the 04.5 does not.

I have installed it and it seems to really Edit and get, I love it and have seen no problems yet in a week. My only concern is that my turbo is boosting up to 39 psi, what are you guys seeing with your Cummins? Thanks

It was probably more like 42-44 PSI. The boost reading you are seeing is from the data port and not what was actually achieved. The only way to get the true boost reading is by going directly to the source with a mechanical gauge.

I would have to say at that psi he's got the wastegate welded shut!

The Edge gets the boost (maps) signal before the ECM does it not? When I installed mine, it was manifol absolute press sen, fuel rail pres sen, injectors, data port, pyro, power and attitude. Dosen't it catch all the signals and just lie to the ecm saying that all is well in cummalong land while telling the injectors to go hard? If the ecm actually saw anything over 20 psi wouldn't it throw a code? Same with the fuel rail pressure? My edge defuels at 36 psi as stated in the manual. I saw 38 once. Granted, I haven't plumbed a boost gage into the cab but I think it's pretty accurate.

With the attitude, you are seeing the boost that is fooled from the data port so it will read lower than what is actually occuring. Are you suggesting that the data port is wrong? With my Juice and EZ I see over 40 all of the time. Yes, I have barked the turbo at that boost as well and so far all is good. I don't recommend doing that even at lower PSI but it happens.
Most topic are I blew my turbo trying to hit 40+ out of stocker.
Because he had a boost elbow that keeps his wastegate shut to long.
I would have not spent $2000 on a upgrade if my stock could hang and put out 40+ and stock wastegates open at about 30 psi.
I myself don't see it for long?

Could the difference be your 03 SO? I just can't get past the fact that on several 04.5's and 05's that I know with analog boost gauges hitting 40 PSI on a regular basis but these are 600 and 610's. These are basically stock trucks, maybe some exhaust and intake but otherwise stock. I've talked with a lot of guys who have tons of experience and they suggest the stock turbo on 600's are ok until 45 PSI, anything more and watch out. I have my Attitude set to defuel at 42 PSI currently.
I'm not trying to argue but I just wonder why now everything that I've seen and personally witnessed is just not happening.
BTW, you can't put a boost elbow on a 600/610, the wastegate is electronically controlled.

You're right about the signals. Basically I think they just clamp the voltage so as to not go over the limit as defined by the stock module and any given sensor; 0-5 volts typically is the range. Once this is done the Edge module basically does whatever it wants while the OEM modules think everything is ok in "cummalong land" as you say. They drive the injectors at that point and the stock system has no idea whats going on. That's the beauty of an inline module. Once you take it off, you can't tell it was there unlike programmers.
